2 words: compatibility and certification

On: Which Red Hat Should Be Worn in the Enterprise?

I would go with the enterprise solutions for 2 reasons:

- Compatibility: you can be certain that your applications are supported in the foreseeable future. Every time I upgrade version I have to check compatibility in my php scripts, perl modules, C libraries... a complete hassle... that's a strong reason for me pushing a RHEL migration path within my company...

- Certification: you get enterprise applicatoins certified for RHEL... Oracle, J2EE, backup solutions and so on... and this is good because you don't have to take a wild guess or check a compatibility list if you're trying to deploy a new solution... this is another reason for me to support the migration

I would recommend to you not to upgrade if you're running non-critical stuff or don't need certification from 3rd parties to run their products... after all it's good to know that your J2EE platform that takes care of your e-commerce website won't be supported or you'll be on your own when you don't have someone to call and are losing $$$ on the minute
